Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health
Ms Laura Casey:
Just to get the provisions right. There were many details and data protection issues to consider within the reporting heads. There was also significant consideration around getting the compliance provisions right for the sector. Instead of lifting provisions for other areas, we nuanced them, given that the nursing home sector is different. I take the Deputy's point and we had hoped to move on this more quickly, but we also hope that the Bill can now be drafted speedily and we can get it into the Houses quickly next year.
